MANILA, Philippines — After curfews and lockdowns, a common sight in tighter movement restrictions is “most likely” to stage a comeback: checkpoints. On Friday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) signaled authorities are ready to put up checkpoints in areas where localized lockdowns are in effect. “If the movement of people and goods is affected since the economy reopened...Most likely what happens is an increase in personnel and checkpoints,” Police Brig. That can potentially be a problem now that more localized lockdowns are being enforced. Also hopefully the implementation of lockdowns across borders will be uniform if they have checkpoints,” he said.
